We are one of the most Affordable Private Venues you will find that allows you to customize your wedding on your Budget. We schedule only ONE event per day. You select your own Vendors, caterer, DJ, Bakery, Photographer. etc.
You have access from 10am-11:30pm that’s 13.5 hours to get your tables and chairs setup, decorate, get dressed and walk down the aisle! Oh, and time to party and celebrate your marriage with your family & friends!
Having had well over 500 weddings, each wedding has looked completely different from the others. That's because you design the spaces and bring your personalities and style to the venue.
Our property spans 28 acres, has multiple levels and varied scenic unobstructed views.
The Ceremony site is an old weather worn wooden structure that at one time was a greenhouse for propagating plants.
After the ceremony most couples host a cocktail hour at pool level. The view is different than that from the ceremony site and reception.
At reception there is a 6,000 sq. ft. lawn that has 3 patio areas. One is ideal as a dance floor, the other is for the Bride & Groom's sweet heart table, and the 3rd is for the bar/beverage station.

Secluded Garden Estate was the perfect space for our wedding! As big outdoor adventurers, we knew we wanted our wedding to be held somewhere with lots of greenery, natural beauty, ...
open space, and expansive views, though it was also important to us that our venue be easily accessible for our guests and that everyone felt comfortable throughout the whole day. With Secluded Garden’s close proximity to Temecula, our guests had a variety of accommodations to choose from for their stay over our wedding weekend, as well as plenty of different activities to keep them busy. The grounds at Secluded Garden are magical, plus well-maintained and well lit so everyone was comfortable walking the pathways between ceremony and reception. I’m sure they also do a lot to prevent mosquitos, etc. from becoming unwanted guests, because no one got bitten! Shoutout to the guests’ reception bathrooms as well, they were definitely cleaner and better maintained than at other outdoorsy venues we visited. Not only is Secluded Garden a gorgeous space, but it is also a DIY venue that requires the couple to arrange for all their vendors themselves - This is exactly what we were looking for and allowed us to build our wedding day to be just as we wanted it! Many thanks to Emily and her family for opening their home and space to us for our big day - It was a perfect and beautiful setting in which to start our next chapter.
Absolutely beautiful venue♥️
I was very hesitant to book a completely DIY venue but when I say that this venue turned out to be MAGICAL, I am not exaggerating. We received so many compliments about our big day...
. Our photographer was absolutely gushing about the lighting and all the places we could shoot. We did bride and groom photos in the forest and they described everything as ethereal. Josh McBride was our day of coordinator and we got so many compliments about him as well. He advocates for you and what you want, will coordinate delivery and set up for all the vendors and as a bride, made me feel like a queen all day. He plated us for dinner and made sure we always had a drink during the reception. He was amazing. They were also very accommodating about us moving our date in december of 2020. There was absolutely no issue and we were able to pick from one of the tree available dates in 2021. Everything was amazing and this DIY venue made it possible for us to really personalize our day. The ceremony cite in the green house is so unique and you wont regret getting married here. Absolutely amazing! We love Secluded Garden.
THE ONLY THING THIS VENUE DIDNT HAVE WHAT I WANTED WAS A BARN. OTHERWISE, WHAT A FREAKING DREAM MY WEDDING WAS. I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON THE BEAUTY OF THIS PROPERTY. MOST PEOPL...
E FEAR BRINGING IN THEIR OWN VENDORS, BUT I TRULY PREFERRED IT BECAUSE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BEST BANG FOR MY BUCK AND HAVE EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED . THANK YOU EMILY AND CHRIS (I THINK THATS HIS NAME) FOR EVERYTHING AND HOW ACCOMMODATING YALL WERE. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS VENUE TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR A DIY VENUE ANY DAY. THANK YOU FOR PROVIDING ME A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION FOR MY HAPPILY EVER AFTER
We had the privilege of having our wedding at Secluded Garden Estate overlooking the mountains in Temecula! This venue was my dream venue because of the incredible views from the c...
eremony site and reception area. It is nestled in the hills of Temecula overlooking the beautiful landscape of nature and the mountains as a backdrop. It is absolutely breathtaking, serene and beautiful and all of our guests felt the same!
Secluded Garden Estate is a DIY venue, so you can truly create your dream wedding and personalize all the details to represent your vision. Emily and her team were a joy to work with! We felt so comfortable having conversations with them about our wedding day vision, the planning process and what to expect on the day of our wedding from the venue. They were attentive to every question, request and concern that we had. They made us feel so special on our wedding day and I highly recommend their stunning estate to all brides and grooms looking for a special and memorable outdoor venue with gorgeous views. You will not be disappointed!!! 10/10 highly recommend!!!
My husband and I are so thankful to have found the Secluded Garden Estate for our June wedding. We decided on this venue not only because of the great price point, but because it w...
as one of the most beautiful wedding venues we had seen. We also love that it gave us the freedom to choose all of our own vendors and keep our wedding within our budget. Also, Emily (the owner) was such a joy to work with. She was so kind, helpful, and enthusiastic through the whole process. From beginning to end, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Secluded Garden Estate for making my wedding dreams come true :)
Perfect venue! Highly recommend, great price and sweet people who work there.
If you dream of an outdoor garden setting for your wedding or event, this is the place to have it. Several areas to chose from or use all of them depending on your event. ...
The views, gardens, pathways, trees, greenhouse structure with hanging windows all help give this place a romantic, enchanted feel. You leave as is or add to it.
Owners let you do your own thing. so for those on a budget, that really helps you to select your preferred vendors, especially if you have an open bar. Emily was always helpful and accommodating. They even let you use their personal home to get ready before hand. Make a grand entrance down their stone stairway. Enjoy the uniqueness of this property.
I had the wedding of my dreams here.
We hosted our wedding here and loved how our wedding turned out. Absolutely affordable deal (but steal, really) for this stunning venue -- expansiveness, beautiful mountain vistas,...
trees/ forest feel. All outdoor hosted venue with ample lighting and signage included. On-site parking with parking attendants. Built-in, clean restrooms with kitchenette. Separate suites for the bride and groom parties to hang out in. The owners are such great people to work with. The site coordinator for the day of, Josh -- so AMAZING! He worked seamlessly with our wedding planner, was just so personable and fun. We were definitely happy with the rest of the staff as well. Things to note: bride and groom party suites are not air conditioned and bridal party cannot get ready on site -- dressing only, no hair or makeup prep. Regardless, would definitely and do recommend this venue.
This venue is GORGEOUS! The views are amazing. There are different areas throughout for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, so it was easy yet so unique. They let you bring in ...
your own vendors, but gave you a discount if you use your own. It helped keep costs WAY down!
We had a hard time getting a hold of the owner at times, but she was so helpful and very easy going.
I absolutely loved this venue. SO beautiful and unique.
Secluded Garden Estate offers a gorgeous backdrop for anyone looking for a great, outdoor venue on a budget!
Don't let the website fool you! It definitely needs to be updated....
When I first looked at it I didn't have high hopes...but then I visited and fell in love. They have 2 great ceremony spots (one is an amazing old greenhouse that is great for that shabby chic, vintage feel) and a large reception area that already has market lights and a concrete dance floor.
I paid $2100 (plus a $500 refundable deposit) for my Saturday evening wedding. Compared to most venues in the area this is a STEAL! However, this venue is completely DIY. Be prepared to find all of you own vendors: cake, catering, dj, coordinator, etc. You are basically just renting the space. You are also required to use a specific rental company for all tables and chairs.(They were amazing though! I really enjoyed working with the rental company and you receive a discount!)
You are required to have a day of coordinator because the venue owners do not want to take on the role.
I really had a great experience with this venue and if I was rating on just the space I would give it 5 stars!
The reason I only gave it 3 was due to the staff. Emily & her husband own the property and live on site. Although they are very nice, they are strict. You must call before every vendor arrives, you must have all of your belongings out of the bridal suite by 6:30pm (which you can only use to get dressed by the way...no hair or makeup allowed!), and they have strict access times.
I was very disappointed at the conclusion of wedding when I was told we were required to be done cleaning an hour before I expected! Kind of made a mad rush of the end of my night. You are even required to bring your own trash can liners! .........really?!
Overall, I would use the same place again...I would just suggest you get a firm answer from Emily in writing regarding access times for your specific day...don't go by what is listed on the contract and have a great day of coordinator & everything will go smoothly!
Also, be aware that Emily doesn't tend to respond quickly to emails.
We decided to have our wedding reception at Secluded Garden Estate not only because of the price, but the beauty and what my husband and I were truly looking for in a venue. This ...
place is absolutely gorgeous! Their pictures online do not do it justice - you really have to be there and experience all the great aspects of this venue. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Emily!!!
Our wedding was on a beautiful Saturday, we were able to accommodate 200+ people, even though they like to keep it around 180 because of parking. The owners of the property are ver...
y nice, the venue is clean and they offer more than one area for wedding ceremonies. We had a block party in the green house, which is an open frame style house. It was nice that the reception was able to at the same place as the wedding. Great views, can be windy since it's in the canyon. Overall I'm very pleased on our venue choice. It was the first venue we looked at and we couldn't have had a better place. Also, the only vendor they require you to use is for tables and chairs. The vendor has a lot of extras like wine barrels, belly bars, linens, long tables, etc. The venue also has heaters you can rent since it does tend to get cold at night, we used them and it felt great all night. Thank you Secluded Garden Estate for being affordable, fun and accommodating!
Our wedding a few months ago at Secluded Garden Estate was beautiful beyond words. Emily and her staff made everything easy and stress free. Emily was accommodating with all of m...
y questions and requests. Our guest were blown away at the scenery and my sister overheard one of the guests saying how they felt like they were in a movie. We used all 3 areas and it made for smooth transitions between ceremony and reception. We only had 120 guests but I believe you could have 250 and still be comfortable. My best 2 recommendations- hang paper lanterns around the dance floor. We alternated white and color and also hang something from the frame behind your minister if you use the greenhouse- it will help in the photographs. Perfect location for a garden chic or rustic wedding and you don't need much décor since it's so darn beautiful.
I loved the look and the ability to do all our ideas. Didn't like the changes that came later and how dificult it was for my wedding planner to get things done, due to lack of coo...
peration.
I had the hardest time finding the perfect venue for our big day. I knew I wanted outdoors, not the beach, not a winery, just pretty nature....this place was exactly what I was loo...
king for. No preferred vendors, not open to the public. Just a beautiful, private hilltop location. The price was so much more reasonable than the other "all inclusive" venues we had looked into.
Of course there were several restrictions: beer and wine only, no nails. No open flames (candles in containers ok), curfew, etc. but nothing was unreasonable! The venue is also the owners' home and those rules are in place to protect the integrity of their property. The D'Antin's were a dream to work with and their place is amazing.
Highly recommended for any bride going for the outdoor romance look for her wedding.
My husband and I stumbled upon Secluded Garden through many nights of research on the web. We needed a place that met our budget, allowed outside caterers, and held 150 guests. I a...
lso was not willing to forgo my dream of having an outdoor wedding with ceremony & reception areas available on-site. Which is why SG was perfect for us. It is tucked away in the Temecula hills, offers beautiful views of the valley and hosts hundreds of planted wildflowers. There are two ceremony sites available: a large flat grassy area sitting next to a pool, or a rustic area with wood posts. The reception area is what sold us on the venue. It's located a 60 second walk down from the grassy ceremony area, has lights strung over the entire area, surrounded by flowers and has a stone dance floor built in. There are brand new restrooms on-site as well as a new kitchen area for the caterer. There was plenty of room in between tables for guests to mingle and grab food. They also offer separate bride and grooms suites for guests to get ready in. There were a few miscommunications with the estate owner which is why I gave them 3 stars: after the ceremony my bridesmaids were forced to move everything out of the bridal suite and into the groom's room. We had no idea of this and our stuff was not easily ready to be moved. Also, the owner and her guests joined in on dinner with us. Would not have been an issue except they were in line with our guests - would've preferred if they waited until AFTER our guests had their meals. Lastly, some of the owner's guests got beer and wine multiple times. Did not think that was very professional. The setting and the price were top-notch, I would just suggest ironing out ALL the details with the owner so you aren't surprised like we were. All-in-all we were very happy with the location and so were all of our guests!
